  • Summary

  • The Be My Eyes app is now available for Windows, specifically for the AI feature.

    Be My Eyes is an app that allows users to create a video call with a sighted volunteer for assistance. It has evolved to include artificial intelligence (AI) functionality called Be My AI, which can provide descriptions of images.

    The Windows app offers four main options: describe the screen, describe a picture taken using the built-in camera, describe a picture from file explorer, and describe the clipboard. The AI provides detailed descriptions and can answer follow-up questions. The app is simple to use and can be beneficial for blind or partially-sighted individuals.
